Caryl;
Glad you could sucessfully burn the Trisquel CD.
It sounds like your Mac Graphics Card is incompatable.
You may be able to start it by modifying startup parameters by adding
"nomodeset"or "vesa" to boot line .
(<esc> <tab> at boot menu (after language selection on Trisquel)- edit
boot line
This is rather too advanced I fear.
OR Use SoaS-v5 with simple graphics selected (2nd menu selection at boot
screen)
I do not think SoaS-v6 has this option.
Cordially;

================================
I still recommend VirtualBox which interfaces graphics and wireless
quite well.

Here is how I set VirtualBox to load at Boot on my Mac:
-(I sent this to you at the end of last year)
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Set_up_MacBook_to_Open_VirtualBox_automatically_when_you_power_it_on
--------------------------------------------------------
* Open System Preferences/Accounts
use Spotlight:
magnifying glass on right end of top bar
search for "accounts"
Choose System Preferences| Accounts
* Click on your user
unlock
login Options/
Login Items (to right)
Click Add(+) button to the right of the accounts list
Select an application *VirtualBox - Application* and click add.
lock
* Boot Mac
Mac opens directly to VirtualBox VirtualBox Manager
Pointed to VirtualBox Appliance - (the last one used)
You can select another on list
==> Start
* Now when the MacBook is powered on, it will boot up in
VirtualBox pointed at the last Virtual Appliance used
*There can be multiple VirtualBox appliances, belonging to
individual students/teachers to choose from, on the same Mac.*
Nice school set up for 1 Mac with multiple student's Sugar.
*easy to archive* with *export* function of VirtualBox - save
weekly? backups for each of the students.
To roll back: import the previously exported file - quick and easy
